About the piece

Painted around 1660 by Abraham van Beijeren, this work is a quintessential example of the Dutch 'visstilleven' or fish still life. The composition showcases the artist's extraordinary ability to render light reflecting off scales and the metallic sheen of the brass bucket against a dark, atmospheric background.
